Bhutan may have been inhabited as early as 2,000 B.C.E. but little is known about its early history. The first official record of inhabitants appears in the 9th century when Tibetan monks fled to Bhutan.

The Drukpa Kagyupa School, a branch of Buddhism, was established in the 12th century, which established the principal branch of Buddhism in Bhutan today. Since the 17th century, the traditional name of Bhutan has been Drukyul, Land of the Drukpa (Dragon People).

In 1616, after three Tibetan invasions and conflicts with rival religious groups, Ngawana Namgyal, a lama from Tibet, established a new system of law and made himself the ruler of the country. He named his position the shabdrung. After Namgyal’s death however, the power of the shabdrung declined and civil wars were frequent until the late 19th century.

In 1885, instability in Bhutan ended when Ugyen Wangchuck took power and was able to unite the country and form ties with the British in India. Wangchuck was elected as the first king of Bhutan in 1907 and was officially crowned on December 17, 1907. In 1910, he signed the Treaty of Punakha with the British to ensure that the British in India would not interfere with Bhutan’s internal affairs as long as it maintained peaceful external relations with its neighboring countries.

Ugyen Wangchuck died in 1926 and his son, Jigme Wangchuck, became the next king of Bhutan. Because of the Treaty of Punakha and other actions by King Ugyen, Bhutan was able to maintain peaceful relations with neighboring countries during King Jigme’s rule as well. India and Bhutan signed the Treaty of Friendship in 1949 which said that Bhutan would have complete control over its internal affairs but would be guided by India in foreign policy.
